A Colorado Springs man who narrates the Bible in Spanish on CDs and works in
the Spanish broadcasting department of Focus on the Family appeared in court
Monday in Golden on two felony counts of using the Internet to lure a
15-year-old girl for sex
<http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_12083195> , The Denver Post
reports.

Juan Alberto Ovalle, 42, was arrested Friday when he drove to Lakewood to
meet the girl ‹ who turned out to be an undercover officer ‹ after
discussing various sexual acts he wanted to perform with her, the Jefferson
County District Attorney¹s Office said.

Ovalle, a native of the Dominican Republic, is listed as the ³Voice
Narrator/Artist² of the Spanish Reina Valera Biblia
<http://www.biblebible.com/audio-bible/Audio-Biblia-CD-Reina-Valera.asp> ,
available on 64 CDs, and can be heard here discussing an upcoming Focus on
the Family conference

evangelical empire¹s outreach to the Spanish-speaking community.

Listen here to Ovalle reading various admonitions against unlawful
fornication <http://audiobiblia.org/mp3/46_1Corintios/1_Corintios_06.mp3>
from 1 Corintios (Corinthians).

Ovalle ³came to know the Lord at the age of 14,² according to a Web site
offering his Spanish Bible narration for sale
<http://www.biblebible.com/audio-bible/Audio-Biblia-CD-Reina-Valera.asp> ,
and founded Spanish Christian Audio in 2001 to ³help Christian organizations
with their audio needs.²

After first encountering the officer who was posing as a 15-year-old girl in
a chat room last week, Orvalle made ³sexually graphic statements in a chat
room to a person he believed to be an underage teen,² the district
attorney¹s office said in a release. When the undercover officer said her
mom wouldn¹t be home the next day, Orvalle said he was ³horny² and made
arrangements to come to her house, according to an arrest affidavit.

Jefferson County District Attorney Scott Storey touts the arrests, since
2005, of more than 235 adults for attempting to meet children and teens for
sex. The arrests are part of an ongoing sting operation

grants to a nonprofit to fund the Child Sex Offender Internet Investigations
Unit. In addition to investigations, the program pays for Cheezo
<http://www.co.jefferson.co.us/da/da_T99_R166.htm> , a 5-foot-tall ³fuzzy
yellow lion mascot,² who travels to schools to warn children about the
dangers of Internet luring.

Ovalle appeared in court Monday on two felony charges ‹ criminal attempted
sexual assault on a child and Internet luring of a child ­and is set to be
formally charged Thursday morning, said Pam Russell, spokesperson for the
district attorney¹s office. His bond was set at $25,000 and he remained in
custody Monday afternoon, she said.
